Mr. ; LeRoy Edwards, one of the pupils, 1 then, with well chosen remarks and in graceful manner, introduced the soeaker, Mr. Ashby Dunn. Mr. Dunn, after expressi his delight in being at Mullens again and his appreciation for the cordial welcome he had received, spoke to she pupils c-neornirg the importance of their work, the joy and the bene dt they could derive from it in pro portion to the determination which they went "at it," and the spirit in which they renamed "at it." He impressed upon them the far-reaching inauence of following a' worthy example, and illustrated its effects by reciting the story of "The Great Scon; Fa'jft."

The exercises ended, dinner wr.s announced, and the crowd gathered around the long table that had been aced in the grove, and partook of a most bounteous repast. iwcry eature of the occasion was a pro nounced success, and credit there for is largely due to Miss Joyner, the capable teacher. t THE JOHN DEERE -3 m3 in this section.
